Series 1: Service Records, 1838-1920
This series includes service records of the various parts of the Michigan Military Establishment spanning from 1838 to 1920. They are divided into five subseries: Descriptive Records, Service Records, Officer Records, Enlistment Records, and Health Records. Note that these records not only document Michigan soldier's involvement in American conflicts such as the Civil War, Spanish-American War, and World War I, but also include service during times of peace as well.
1.1 Descriptive Records, 1838-1911
Subseries 1.1 provides biographical information of the soldiers who served between 1838 and 1911. They are arranged by regiment, but the bulk of the records include a name index. Of particular interest is the descriptive roll of substitute service men (item 1.1.6) and deserters during the civil war (item 1.1.7)
